One grinning pup is racking up some serious sights for his video cuddling up with his mechanic father. We see the canine’s big old doofy smiling face peer underneath a car where his father is working.

Dad is underneath the car with a screwdriver or some kind of vehicle repairing gun in his hand.

He’s looking for the right spot to start his job when his doggo interrupts him.

That’s when the golden retriever Dog chooses it’s time for kisses and leans into father and further under the car to provide the side of father’s head a great lick. After that he quits to lay on top of father for a minute so he can be happy and be close to him.

Next, he decides it’s time to cuddle and obtains cozy on father’s shoulder, and nuzzles up in the crook of his neck.

This is the perfect place to nap, or at least he believes so, and goes in for a snooze. At the same time, father still has a vehicle to fix. But not before he gives his reliable canine some pets.
